Subject: Following Up on EEI Board Meeting
CasesList 032717 Final.docx
Samantha: Thanks again for efforts by you, Millan and others on the EPA team in arranging for Administrator Pruitt to address the EEI Board of Directors. The Administrator's remarks were extremely well received and provided ample food for thought going forward. In that vein, during the Q&A session the Administrator requested a list of current and pending milestones in cases impacting EEl's members. An initial list is attached. Importantly, it focuses on items that EEI has traditionally engaged and/or where industry unanimity has been established. Individual EEI member companies may supplement this list with additional priorities related to their local operations.
I hope you find this note responsive to the Administrator's request. I will follow up with you relative to this and other matters we discussed at the EEI meeting.
